What Agents Help With

๐Ÿ”„ Tedium

Making rote changes across many files

Renames, formatting, migrations

๐Ÿ“‹ Planning

Building a plan then executing end-to-end

Feature design, implementation, testing

๐Ÿ” Investigation

Pulling information out of chaos

Root cause analysis, log diving, debugging

โ“ Understanding

Finding out "why" then doing something about it

Legacy code, unfamiliar systems

๐Ÿ“ Documentation

Show the agent what you have so it can explain it

README, API docs, onboarding guides

๐Ÿงช Testing

Writing tests for existing code

Unit tests, integration tests, edge cases
The pattern: Repetitive + time-consuming + well-defined = agent task
